Apex Legends Just Hit a Whopping 25 Million Players

CEO of Respawn Vince Zampella took to twitter to celebrate
the monumental achievement, linking to an official blog post where he announced
that Apex Legends hit a peak of 2
million concurrent players in the week since its release. He also took the time
to give fans a little bit of an idea of what’s to come in the next few weeks.

He first let fans know about an upcoming Twitch sponsored
event titled the “Twitch Rivals Apex Legends Challenge”, which is scheduled to
take place on February 12th and the 19th. Vince says the
tournament will feature “48 of the biggest streamers on Twitch” and will be
streamed for free on the official Apex
Legends Twitchchannel (www.twitch.tv/playapex).

He also announced that Apex
Legends would be celebrating Valentine’s Day with some limited time themed
loot. The update should be coming later this week.

Finally, Vince reminded players that on March 1st,
Apex Legends will have its first ever
season-based battle pass. After purchasing a Battle Pass, players will be able
to complete a series of challenges to unlocked limited time loot such as
character and weapon skins.

Congratulations to the team at Respawn, at this point it’s
clear that Apex Legends is shaping up
to be a pretty massive hit.
